247 Rankings Football (2024)

FAQs

What's the difference between 247 and 247 composite? ›

247Sports features two ratings for high school football and basketball recruits: its own in-house evaluations done by its scouting staff, and 247Sports Composite ratings. The Composite aggregates the public ratings for a prospect by the major recruiting services using a propriety algorithm.

The composite score is usually created by adding all of the ratings together (i.e., the sum) or by taking the average (mean) of the ratings.

FOOTBALL STAR RATINGS

The only way to earn a National Radar Star is by attending a Recruit Nation Showcase and being evaluated by the Dream All-American Committee, National Radar Scouts and the College Coaches in attendance.

Each voter provides their own ranking of the top 25 teams, and the individual rankings are then combined to produce the national ranking by giving a team 25 points for a first place vote, 24 for a second place vote, and so on down to 1 point for a twenty-fifth place vote.

Is 247 a Composite Number? Yes, since 247 has more than two factors i.e. 1, 13, 19, 247. In other words, 247 is a composite number because 247 has more than 2 factors.

A five-star prospect is deemed to be amongst the top 30 players nationally, ones that are expected to immediately contribute as freshmen regardless of where they sign. That puts them in the top 0.01% of that recruiting class.

The short answer is that colleges do look at both the composite score and the individual scores. If you are STEM major and have a low Math section, that doesn't look good. But if you are a humanities major, having a differential of 50-100 pts might not be a big deal.

Composite score is calculated by adding the weighted requirement score and weighted relative score. Overall composite rank is derived based on the composite score of response amount and requirements. Category managers can see both overall ranks - based on composite score and response amount.

The Composite score is the average of your four test scores, rounded to the nearest whole number. Fractions less than one-half are rounded down; fractions one-half or more are rounded up.

Roughly speaking, there were 1,083,308 high school football players competing, and eventually 251 made it to pro. After simple calculation, we can get that the percentage of student-athletes going pro is approximately 0.023%. In truth, this number is not encouraging for anyone eager for a professional career.

How many 5 star recruits are there per year? ›

The best of those recruits are rated five stars. There are 32 five-stars every year, making them essentially college football's version of first-round picks. Here's how every five-star recruit in the 2023 class graded out in their true freshman season.

It is not easy to become a footballer. In fact, is very har as only around 2% of players in soccer academies make their debut in the first team. However, you need to remember that you're doing what you love, which is playing football, and that you're in a journey to achieving your goal!

The analysts go to camps and watch recruits, watch film, etc and then rate the recruits based on their skills with different drills, speed, height, weight, etc. (other factors like how many and what schools have offered may play a factor in some rankings but not much).

According to the PFF website, the group's algorithm analyzes every play for each individual player and measures the impact that said player has while on the field. A player's impact is then given a grade between −2 and +2 in 0.5 increments. Each position has a scale with a unique algorithm and rules.

4 stars is a typical ranking for most recruits at schools which regularly finish as one of the top ranked teams in a particular sport. 3 stars is a typical ranking for recruits at most other schools in "Power Five" football conferences as well as the top schools from the "Group of Five conferences".
